Same :(


Is there any archives for english speaking radio from the 90's ?



Just stop taking photos, you’re bad at it :)


But I enjoy taking photos.


For French readers: I have created a HN like for French news with the same interface than hacker news and a similar time/point based algorithm for auto sorting most popular articles.

Who gonna read this, this is so compact.


It’s not mobile friendly although maybe this says more about mobile browsers than the site itself, because it looks like a typical old school “mofo” style website (h1 h2 p etc. no css)


Careful with Deno, performance is still low: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3397140/48649635-8...


That's just FUD through a synthetic benchmark by the person who wrote uWS after he approached Ryan and Ryan wouldn't do everything he asked for...


Running a local benchmark to compare Node.js and Deno gave me the same magnitude of performance difference. I like the concepts behind Deno but the performance should stay a top priority. Even more for a new technology that is looking for future adoption. If Deno gets faster than Node.js, I adopt it. If it stays 5x less performant than Node.js, I skip it.


Are you running deno 0.10.0 versus Node? Since there has been some internal refactoring it should now be 80% wrt basic http req/sec (ref: https://deno.land/benchmarks.html#all , though the benchmark might have not covered everything)

Overhead from Flatbuffers is a major reason of the slowdown and we are seeking to get rid of it.


That bench has deno at 0.2, it's now at 0.10, though I have no idea how much performance work has been done.

Performance should improve over time, there's no fundamental reason from what I understand that it shouldn't be as fast or faster than node.

node has had 10 years of work and performance effort from so many people and organisations.


Could this be applied to Chrome V8 for Javascript memory garbage collection?


That should be an ideal application. Usually the trouble with 3rd-party garbage collection is that it has to discern pointer vs. any other machine word. That's more of a problem with C; this is why the Boehm GC library calls itself "conservative". A runtime like V8 can follow a spec when it allocates memory so everything is properly marked.


With magic lantern, is it possible to stream the video from the camera to a host computer? For example to use it like a webcam


You might not even need magic lantern for that. I have a 77d and it streams a live view to the Canon EOS utility over WiFi. Quality seems pretty good. I haven't looked into it myself, but I wouldn't be too surprised if someone has written software to stream from it in this mode.


Fully autonomous & killing drone will start here


Gitlab is not comparable to Github at all. Gitlab is just about hosting git projects that's all. It's not community driven at all.


You're right on the first point. They aren't comparable. GitLab is a community driven, open core product that is far more powerful than GitHub. GitLab has an extremely robust CI system built in. In addition, you can even use them to create private Docker registries, which I find useful for creating my own private CI images. Plus, they have a better security model (5 tiers), wildcards for branch protection, and tag protection. I'm sure there's other places that they differ, but before you disparage a company, please be informed about who they are and how great their product actually is.


Why do people say "X and Y aren't comparable" and then proceed to compare them? :)

I'm not (only) trying to be pedantic here -- I'm just pointing out the loaded language. In both business models and product recommendations, people use the word "comparable" to justify their conclusions, rather than to explain their comparisons themselves.

It is all about framing a decision for a particular use case at a particular price point.

I guess you could say I'm the kind of person that can't help but notice that modern communication seems to be fraught with this pattern: let's state our conclusions without much justification and then choose our language minimize the "rationality" of alternatives. I think we can do better, as a community.


Part of it is due to an alternate definition of comparable, which is "of equivalent quality; worthy of comparison", as opposed to "able to be likened to another; similar". It's being used as shorthand for "they aren't equivalent", and then they go to justify that assessment.

I get your point though. The form and structure of the language used, consciously of subconsciously, often conveys quite a bit more information than the words themselves impart. Sometimes this is meant to communicate or subconsciously sway the reader, sometimes it's leakage of the writer's mental state.


Exactly. With this definition, the phrase "compare and contrast" makes much more sense. The point here was to leap frog the fact that GitHub and GitLab have very comparable feature sets, and instead highlight the things that GitLab has that GitHub is totally missing.


I find the argument that Gitlab is community driven a joke. They are not. And they never can. The community edition can never be ready for more than git hosting.

We were recently evaluating it, and found that basic needs like code reviews are not covered. And their hiding of LDAP Integration (luckily the extended community stepped in and duplicated their module) is a joke.


I don't get your point. GitLab has basic code reviews [1, 2] and LDAP support [3]. LDAP support is better in EE than in CE but that's expected. What is missing for you?

1: https://gitlab.com/help/user/project/merge_requests/merge_re...

2: https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/development/code_review.html

3: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/auth/ldap-ee.html


Exactly. (1) is Enterprise edition, same as proper (3) LDAP Integration.

And I forgot about squashing :)

All I say: it is expected. Gitlab is capable, just not in all editions


From a development perspective, it's actually very community driven https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues?label_name%5B...


Your statements are untrue.

Not only can you do community-driven project development with Gitlab but the core product itself is also open source and community participation is encouraged. See:

https://gitlab.com/explore

https://about.gitlab.com/community/


You have obviously never used gitlab in depth. I have never seen a tech company so open about everything they do with the community.
